123 Flowers – A bouquet for all occasions

If you’re looking for the perfect bouquet of flowers to help decorate your home and bring in a gorgeous pop of colour then 123 Flowers is a great website to choose. My decor around the home doesn’t really change with the seasons, however, I think adding flowers is an easy way to achieve a subtle change throughout the year without going overboard.*

Who are 123 Flowers?

123 Flowers is a great online florist that provides gorgeous bouquets 7 days a week, for all occasions. They have a large selection of bouquets to choose from, you can even filter by occasion, so you can get the perfect recommendation. Or.. 123 Flowers can even create you something completely bespoke, if that’s what you’re looking for. Should you need flowers in a hurry there is even a next day delivery option on certain bouquets, perfect for unexpected events or for forgetful people (like myself). With all bouquets you are able to write a personal message which will be provided on a card with your order. Your bouquet can be one of three sizes: standard, medium or large.

You can even pick out some things to go along with your bouquet, such as; Teddy bears, vases, chocolates, wine, balloons and even cake.

My experience

123 Flowers sent me out the “Magnificent” bouquet, which is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for autumn. It came beautifully packaged and well protected in a large box. Inside the box the bouquet came with a pretty card, pop up cardboard vase and even a glass vase (not pictured). I wasn’t able to choose what bouquet I received to review, so this bouquet was a lovely surprise. I actually really like the colours and I think it’s probably one I would have picked out for myself.

Below is a bird’s eye view of the bouquet and I think it’s even more stunning from the top. It smelled absolutely fantastic and my male cat couldn’t stop sniffing them. He kept sticking his nose into the side of the box even before I had opened them up. Don’t worry, we made sure to put the flowers well out of the way of both of our cats after taking the photos (otherwise our male cat would have eaten them). Our female cat investigated too, but she wasn’t as interested in them as our male cat. He’s always liked flowers and plants, even though most are not good for him.

Caring for your bouquet

The back of the included card gives helpful instructions on how to care for your flowers.

The instructions are easy to follow and tell you to put water into a vase and add the included plant food. After that, you cut off the stems by a few centimetres (at an angle) and remove any foliage that would be sitting in the water. Then you simply place your pre-arranged bouquet into your vase and then you have a gorgeous new addition to your home.

Positioning our bouquet

We placed our bouquet in our bedroom, as I can keep an eye on them in there. During the night I keep them up high so they are not easily accessible by our cats. When it is day time I move them to the sunny window sill of the bedroom and close the door. I recommend doing something similar if you like to have flowers around yet you are wary of curious pets knocking them over or ingesting them (since most flowers and plants can be toxic to animals).

Final Thoughts

I really love the “Magnificent” bouquet from 123 Flowers. It’s gorgeous and it took no effort to place since it was already arranged beautifully. Their prices are reasonable and their website was easy to navigate. I was impressed at how well packaged the bouquet arrived too. Overall, I had a great experience with 123 Flowers and I would definitely recommend them if you’re looking for an online florist.
